Mayor Pete Pomeroy will be issued a credit card in the town s name lo cover his expenses Halton Hills committee recomme nded Monday night The first plan to allow an expense account of a month ran Into trouble when Ray King town treasurer said some tax experts he had consulted said the amount would be taxable since one third the mayor and councillors salaries are already tax exempt A suggestion by Councillor Marilyn Serjealson was that the a year simply be added to the salary and therefore would be subject to the one third exemption The mayor pointed out he never thought of asking for a credit card but simply wanted to explain the tax situation The motion allowing the credit card whereby the expenses would be paid by the treasury department was passed unanimously Council endorses heritage Hills council concerned of late with historic heritage build ings endorsed a request dealing with such buildings last Tuesday The Ontario Building Officials Association asked municipalities to support appropriate amendments being made to provincial and national building codes to pro vide for the continued economic viability of heritage buildings so they can be preserved for their heritage or architectural features and not be fected by the building code They fear building code enforcement could force tragic alterations to heritage buildings by Susan Today we held our annual May crowning or
